Twitter: Top 10 Golfers to Follow

The next best thing to following big name golfers in tournaments is, of course,
to, uh, follow them on Twitter, right?

If
you want to read and respond to some of the best tweets in the golf kingdom,
try some of these:

1. Ian
Poulter (@IanJamesPoulter)—Poulter takes great pride in his Twitter banter and
you never know what he’ll come up with from day to day. He’s brash and
sometimes annoying, but always interesting.

2. Paul
Azinger (@PaulAzinger)—The outspoken “Zinger” comments on everything from
politics to golf and other sports. He’s never dull.

3. Stewart
Cink (@stewartcink)--He has an amazing 1,157,740 followers so he must be saying
something interesting on a regular basis.

4. Rory
McIlroy (@McIlroyRory)—The young Irish phenom seems to drone on incessantly
about his great girlfriend, tennis star Carol Wozniacki (@CaroWozniacki), but
also has personal tidbits about his daily life.

5. Bubba
Watson (@bubbawatson)—Known for his offbeat tweets like “View of 16th
hole in Bermuda from jet ski”, Watson keeps you posted on his great life.

6. Natalie
Gulbis (@natalie_gulbis)—The LPGA’s glamour girl keeps you updated on her life
on and off the course and always provides a lot of eye candy with great photos.

7. John
Daly (@PGA_JohnDaly)—Nobody lives a wilder life on the PGA tour than J.D. He
was made for Twitter because you never know where he’ll be and what he’ll say.

8. Rickie
Fowler (@RickieFowlerPGA)—One of Tour’s rising young stars, Fowler’s interests
go well beyond golf. He sort of over tweets on the Oklahoma State Cowboys
(where he attended college), but he’s still a good one to follow.

10. Tiger
Woods (@TigerWoods)—He has the most followers in the golf industry (2,718,053),
but he never seems to say much that’s enlightening or interesting. Here’s a
classic mundane tweet by Tiger: “Amazing first visit to Turkey. Thanks Turkish
Airlines, event organizers and fans. Very special place and a really fun
event.” Yawn.
